Black Friday IPad Deal Predictions Are Enticing

The Black Friday 2012 Sales month is less than a month away. One of the hottest items will be tablets. Apple might though be able to lock the market up if things fall into place as predicted.

The actual Black Friday 2012 is this year on November 23, this is less than 50 days away according to Black Friday Countdown. Tablets will be on the radar of lots of Black Friday shoppers this year. Google, Amazon and B&N have low budget tablets on the start that are aimed at breaking the iPad reign. The Kindle Fire HD (starts at $199) and Nexus 7 will though likely see no price cuts during the Black Friday sales season that will start on November 2nd. What we will likely see though are new pricing of the Apple iPad range.

Shopping site DealNews predicts in their Black Friday 2012 deal predictions that the iPad 2 will sell for $299. This is $100 off the current price. Supported is this prediction by the fact that Fry's has sold the iPad 2 at this price earlier this year. What DealNews is not considering is the new iPad mini. The iPad mini is supposed to be announced mid-October. If $299 is possible for the iPad 2 than Apple could be really aggressive and price the iPad mini at $199 matching the price of the Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7.

Apple would totally kill off the small tablet invasion that Amazon started last year with the Kindle Fire. Even when the iPad mini would be priced at $249, it would slow down the Fire HD and Nexus 7 sales this Holiday season.

If you are in the market for a tablet you are in for a treat and will score a state-of-the-art tablet for cheap.
